Chapter 307: Ring of Desire
Nell nullified the elf\'s disguise magic, and his form changed gradually.
The elf\'s hair turned from black to mist green, and so did the color of his eyes. Then, his ears became pointed upwards. However, the thing that changed significantly was that he became more \'prettier\' and slender. His face tended to resemble a girl even though he was a genuine man.
"Hum, indeed an elf. I\'ll take care of the two of you in a few hours. Now, please fall asleep." Nell stopped her Holy Magic to the elf. Then, she stretched out her hand and used sedative magic on Reggie and Abel.
The two men fell asleep instantly without being able to fight back.
Nell cast her magic one more time to temporary disguise the two men bodies like two sacks of potatoes, then Ariel made the two men float with magic.
The holy knight lady went out of the private room after excused herself and said she would return as soon as possible. Elena made a gap in her barrier for Ariel\'s way out before closing it.
"Little one, based on your explanation just now, this ring can transfer desire to other beings but also apply the same to the user? What do you mean by that? My Ely said that young people earlier tried to brainwash her and her friends." Elena asked while examining the black ring in her hand. She even scanned down to the most minor carvings and patterns.
"Ah, that one. It was an ancient item that belonged to one of the royal families in the Elven Continent about a hundred thousand years ago. We do not yet know the certainty about why the young elf had it and gave it to that young man.
I had encountered a similar item when the Royal Family in question was conducting a mate search for one of their offspring. That Royal Family would use the Ring of Desire so that the bride or groom who entered their family would never have evil intentions or betrayal in them." Nell flew back towards Elena and landed on the latter\'s shoulder.
Elena furrowed her brows at that, and Nell noticed and immediately tried to calm the atmosphere.
"Hmm, but the Ring of Desire just works as the name implies. It\'s like clouding one\'s judgment with desire. However, that item has its limits and will crumble afterwards." Nell took a moment to pause while trying to remember something, but everyone was just waiting for the sequel.
"Erm... As I recall, this black ring can only send one quite strong desire to someone at the Intermediate level or below." Nell nodded confidently.
"Wait, after all, why would the Elven Royal Family in question use such dirty methods to ascertain their offspring\'s mate?" Elena represented the question that seemed to be on everyone\'s mind in the private room. Evelyn and Ella were the ones most curious about it.
"The Elven Royal Family I mentioned would guarantee their offspring\'s best future mate. They would plant the seed of desire such as love and affection for their offspring\'s bride or groom at Intermediate-level or below." Nell shrugged her shoulders slightly.
Even though she was the one who explained, she actually looked down on that action. Nevertheless, she was unable to interfere in the matter for several reasons.
"Doesn\'t that only apply to those at Intermediate level or below? If so, wouldn\'t it be useless if that family offspring\'s mate\'s ascended to a level above that?" Elena added. She was clueless about that family\'s belief, especially their offspring, to employ such disgusting methods to find a life partner.
"Now then, the desire that has been planted will remain forever. I don\'t like that kind of method. I suggested destroying this Ring of Desire. The effect of this item does resemble something like brainwashing." Nell folded her arms and looked at the black ring with contempt.
\'I see... Looks like the ring\'s durability diminished because that man just sent Evelyn, and I subtle desire to like him. Perhaps, that ring would be destroyed right away if it was used so that one of us head over heels in love with him. Horrible.\' Elysia muttered in her mind.
\'Ely, what do you want to do with this ring? Destroy?\' Elena asked for a decision.
\'En, please destroy it without remainder, Sister Elena. Also, destroy the foreign energy like mist that is contained within that ring.\' Elysia was supportive of that action. Whatever it was, she didn\'t like vile things like that around them. She didn\'t want to keep it either.
\'Alright.\' After saying that, Elena wrapped the ring in a sphere of magic energy.
Then, the destructive force contained in her magic immediately destroyed all of the Ring of Desire\'s constituent substance within a second.
"..." Nell became a little excited and scared to see that.
The Goddess of Light was indeed strong with lots of magic that she didn\'t know the least. It seems the Goddess of Light\'s divinity was above her big sister. Praise to the grandgodmaster as they held a pretty good relationship.
"I\'ve destroyed it. No one needs to worry after this." Elena said that while looking at Evelyn and Ella as if she was talking to them.
Meanwhile, the two girls in question could only nod in relief.
"Nice, bad things don\'t happen, and you are fine. Shall we go to the Imperial Palace now?" Instead of deciding on that, Elena asked if she needed the two girls\' decision. At the same time, she revoked her barrier altogether.
"Un."
"En, let\'s go."
Evelyn and Ella nodded innocently, but they didn\'t let go of Elysia\'s arm. They didn\'t even move from their position as if they were waiting for something.
Realizing that, Elysia smiled faintly and walked ahead after politely inviting the Goddesses. Evelyn and Ella only followed Elysia from either side, still holding the latter\'s arm.
If it needed to be said, these two innocent girls felt a little afraid just to imagine if the young master earlier managed to brainwash them. If Elysia wasn\'t there, perhaps... Evelyn got little goosebumps just up to that point, and Ella thought even a little further before she shivered due to her own imagination.
"We\'re fine, Eve, Ella. Girls with good behavior will also have good luck." Elysia turned to her friends and conveyed her gentle words to reassure them.
"En, thank you, Ely." Ella closed her eyes and nodded subtly. She could be a little relieved that her Goddess was still around, and she felt pretty safe.
"Nee, Ely, am I still my usual self now? I still remember what happened, and it wasn\'t me. I\'m sure of that... I\'m a little scared." Evelyn muttered softly while looking down a little, but she was sure her best friend could hear it.
"You\'re still the Eve I know. I\'m sure of that, and I can confidently say it to you. With that being said, I\'ve eliminated the black mist that was trying to cloud your judgment. Just in case, we better not come into contact with strangers anymore. The incident just now was severe enough to be taken seriously." Elysia suggested with a reassuring smile.
She had some worries in mind, and she was also worried about her friends. These two girls were not ordinary girls. They were pretty vulnerable to being targeted by evil schemes because of their beauty and backgrounds. They were good girls and deserved a good fortune filled with happiness.
"Thank you, Ely. Thank you very much." Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief.
As it turns out, her best friend had to take care of everything for her. Perhaps, her previous decision was correct. She should refuse to shake hands with men for whatever reason.
After that, Elysia and her friends walked out of private room 1. Elena followed right behind them, and Maximilian took a little distance behind as if he was a guard.
As for Nell... She put all the items on the table into her mini pocket dimension before sitting back on Elena\'s shoulder in invisible magic. She almost forgot, and luckily Elena reminded her.
As soon as they left private room 1, Rosie and Fran walked over with worried expressions. They had been waiting right outside that private room because of their concern.
"Has something happened? Are you all right? Just a moment ago, Miss Ariel came out in a hurry, and she even ignored us." Rosie stopped right in front of Elysia and expressed her anxieties in words.
"It\'s nothing, Rosie. Just two bad guys, trying to do something indecent to us. They\'ve been taken by Miss Ariel in a potato sack to go to the Ecclesiastical Prison." Elysia whispered softly after making sure no outsider would overhear her.
Rosie covered her mouth in shock, and Fran frowned with a grim expression. However, they thought about the same astonishment in their minds. What kind of people would dare to offend the Goddess\'s disciple and these two princesses? Those two bad guys were bored with life, trying to find such a big deal?
"Forget it, we need to go to the Imperial Palace now. Let\'s go." Elysia invited Rosie and Fran politely.
As soon as Rosie gave a response, the white cat jumped out of Rosie\'s arms. Vanessa wanted to be hugged by her master and talked to her master about several things.
"Oh my." Elysia caught the white cat on reflex. She stroked her contracted beast attentively.
After that, they walked away through the corridor that looked relatively peaceful. It was a special section for private rooms, after all.
All of them immediately headed to the first floor and came out of Lavely Pizza. A golden carriage was parked nearby, and two dozen high-level holy knights stood guard around the carriage, waiting for their arrival.
